- 1 packet Hotpot soup base (spicy or non-spicy, as preferred)

- 60 ml Soy sauce

- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 4 stalks Scallions (chopped)

Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by slicing the chicken breast, beef sirloin, fish fillet, and carrots thinly. Cube the firm tofu and soak/slice the wood ear mushrooms if using dried.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: separate the leaves of the Chinese cabbage and baby bok choy; trim the enoki mushrooms and rinse. Wash the spinach thoroughly.
Peel and devein the shrimp if not already prepared, and set aside.
Set up your hotpot table: place a portable burner and a large, wide pot in the center of your dining area.
Pour the chicken stock (or water) into the pot and stir in the hotpot soup base (spicy or non-spicy, as preferred). Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower it to a simmer.
Prepare dipping sauces by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chili slices in small bowls. Add chopped scallions for garnish.
Bring all prepared ingredients to the table in separate bowls or platters for easy sharing and access.
Once the soup base is simmering, begin cooking the proteins and vegetables in the pot. The thinly sliced meats, shrimp, and fish will cook quickly (1-2 minutes). Vegetables should be cooked to your desired tenderness.
Use a slotted spoon or hotpot skimmer to retrieve the cooked items from the broth. Dip them into the prepared sauces and enjoy immediately.
Crack the eggs into the simmering broth near the end of the meal to make a flavorful soup or to coat cooked ingredients lightly before dipping in sauce.
Continue replenishing the broth as needed, and enjoy the communal experience of Chinese hotpot!
